Look at those eyes, cold and focused! Sherman was all about business and efficiency, which he demonstrated when he prepared to advance into Georgia in 1864. He trimmed all the dead weight off the army, and allowed only one wagon per regiment. He made his staff as small as possible, and kept his papers in his coat pockets. He personally sent all the reporters packing, on the grounds that they would tell the enemy more than a battalion of spies.

holy tight corset he's wearing under that uniform!

Can anyone recommend some good literature re William Tecumseh Sherman? He's my ancestor.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/André-Adolphe-Eugène_Disdéri André-Adolphe-Eugène Disdéri (March 28, 1819, Paris — October 4, 1889)[1] was a French photographer who started his photographic career as a daguerreotypist but gained greater fame for patenting his version of the carte de visite, a small photographic image which was mounted on a card. Disderi, a brilliant showman, made this system of mass-production portraiture world famous.
